You need a second opinion. A fluid buildup around the brain is very significant and could be causing the problems. A radiologist needs to look at the MRI results and identify for sure whether fluid is present. I cannot say why one doctor saw it and another didn't. The medicines you are taking could certainly cause the symptoms you are having, and you might need to change them. But first you need to be absolutely sure about the fluid. Have a radiologist who specializes in reading MRIs take a look at your films. Hope this helps.
